It just means more at Ohio State
But while all of that matters, perhaps the one thing that makes the Ohio State problem the biggest for Harbaugh is that the Buckeye culture embraces the rivalry over Michigan more than he and the Wolverine program does.

It’s not that Jim Harbaugh doesn’t want to beat “Ohio,” it’s just OSU lives and breathe beating “That Team Up North” 365 days of the year in Columbus. There are countdown signs, reminders of the rivalry, pictures of the Block-M on punching bags, and more. Heck, the OSU coaches even devote time in every single practice to Michigan.
